UCCE Highlights from 2010

7302

The attached file containssignificant highlights of the Farm and Home Advisors’ 96th year of our cooperative partnership between the County of San Diego, the University of California, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Two of these partners, the County and the University, formally renewed this partnership with a new Memorandum of Understanding in 2009.

As you peruse this report, we believe you will appreciate the diversity of our efforts and the strength of our science-based programs. The programs highlighted here support the County of San Diego’s three strategic initiatives—safe and livable communities, kids, and the environment. We also are providing programs in seven of the nine strategic initiatives set forth by the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR) in 2009.

Financial support (see attached document)for the Farm and Home Advisor’s efforts in San Diego County totals over $7.7 million and comes from four major sources.

I sincerely thank our 45 staff members, volunteers, collaborators, and supporters for their immeasurable contributions to the success of UCCE San Diego County.

On behalf of my colleagues in San Diego, I hope you will find this report interesting and informative. However, these are only highlights from 2010. Please contact us or visit our website for more in-depth information.
